A Night on the Hill – The ‘Q’ performed for Steve and Tessa’s Wedding

“We hired Jason and the ‘Q’ to perform our ceremony music, cocktail hour entertainment, and music for dinner and dancing at our Wedding at the University Club of St. Paul in November 2015.  In a word – WOW.  He was super easy to work with, understood exactly the vibe we were going for in each portion of our day, and kept the soulful and jazzy tunes going all night long, to the delight of our guests, and myself and my new bride.  I have absolutely no reservations recommending him to anyone that needs an outstanding band – I won’t even call them a wedding band, as the talent level and ability far surpassed what people have normally come to expect.  HIRE HIM AND NEVER WORRY ABOUT YOUR MUSIC AGAIN!”

Few times in my career have I worked with a couple with such grace, class and humor.  Steve and Tessa set a wonderful standard in my mind as to what a couple should strive to be on their wedding day.   Every vendor that worked for them that day felt important, every guest felt special, every person they touched felt good to just be there.

Rarely do I make a mistake with speeches or introductions, but in being human, I made a small mistake in the pronunciation of their name and felt awful.  Before I could even make it over to them to apologize, they grabbed me and laughed letting me know that I couldn’t have found a more perfect couple to have a flub on.. they had a great sense of humor and wouldn’t give it a second thought.  More importantly, I believed them and the band gave 100 times more to the show because we felt valued.

What an amazing couple.. he looked JUST LIKE BRADLEY COOPER.. seriously, and she was so stunning she drew the air from the room.  What a wonderful night.

The event was held at the beautiful University Club and you couldn’t have found a more classy vintage feel to frame this couple.  A perfect event center for a beautiful evening

Jason Weismann and the ‘Q’ had just finished performing at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival and felt just as blessed to take part in this event.

Thank you Steve and Tessa for having Minnesota’s Music Services and the ‘Q’ set the back drop of such a perfect night!

Thank You Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport for having the Dap Squad!!!

The Metropolitan Airport Commission featured the Dap Squad for their Nice Celebration/Awards Show.

Honorees included employees that had shown exceptional work ethic and attitude over the last year.  The awards have extra meaning for both the awardees and their employers because to be considered, the employee has to be recognized for extraordinary service by customers themselves.

Thank you to the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Airport Commission for working together with Minnesota’s Music Services and the Dap Squad to make such a special event!
